OOMA News: April 13th Outage Information
So much for having OOMA, its less than a week as I have it and I did go for a vacation for few days and wonder what happend? Well my OOMA service did go down, because I was away I was unable to know that there was outage, my parents got so upset about service and that this never happened before with Verizon land line. Well I would say we got what we did pay for and as with any VoIP its always the case where you do relay on Internet connectivity. In the old days where there was no VoIP phone was always available, if you did not have answering machine, and just phone without external power (no wireless) telephone service was always availble, even when there was a blackout or some kind of power outage. Telephone Companies always had power backups so calling 911 or other service was as easy as just picking up the phone. Nowdays we just take for granted that we will always have power and phone service available. We all do have cell phones, but we think that they will be always there. What will hppen when any of this will go away and we will not be able to even reach for help? Make sure that you do have battery backup for your cable modem or router, FiOS has its internal power battery which will last few hours.
Anyway here is the message that I’ve receiver from OOMA regarding that outage.
